Chromosomal aberrations were comparatively assessed in nuclei extracted from synovial tissue, primary-culture (P-0) synovial cells, and early-passage synovial fibroblasts (SFB; 98% enrichment; P-1, P-4 [passage 1, passage 4]) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA; n = 21), osteoarthritis (OA; n = 24), and other rheumatic diseases. Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and skin fibroblasts (FB) (P-1, P-4) from the same patients, as well as SFB from normal joints and patients with joint trauma (JT) (n = 4), were used as controls. Analyses proceeded by standard GTG-banding and interphase centromere fluorescence in situ hybridization. Structural chromosomal aberrations were observed in SFB (P-1 or P-4) from 4 of 21 RA patients (19%), with involvement of chromosome 1 [e.g. del(1)(q12)] in 3 of 4 cases. In 10 of the 21 RA cases (48%), polysomy 7 was observed in P-1 SFB. In addition, aneusomies of chromosomes 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, and Y were present. The percentage of polysomies was increased in P-4. Similar chromosomal aberrations were detected in SFB of OA and spondylarthropathy patients. No aberrations were detected in i) PBL or skin FB from the same patients (except for one OA patient with a karyotype 45,X[10]/46,XX[17] in PBL and variable polysomies in long-term culture skin FB); or ii) synovial tissue and/or P-1 SFB of normal joints or of patients with joint trauma. In conclusion, qualitatively comparable chromosomal aberrations were observed in synovial tissue and early-passage SFB of patients with RA, OA, and other inflammatory joint diseases. Thus, although of possible functional relevance for the pathologic role of SFB in RA, these alterations probably reflect a common response to chronic inflammatory stress in rheumatic diseases. 相似文献

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are thought to be predominant proteases and protease inhibitors involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) through their ability to remodel the extracellular matrix (ECM) in response to inflammatory stimuli and by their immunomodulating effects. An imbalance between MMPs and TIMPs has been linked with acute and chronic inflammation and aberrant tissue remodeling, as seen in IBD. Moreover, recurrent phases of tissue destruction and subsequent tissue repair can cause serious complications in IBD patients such as fistulas and fibrosis. The aims of this review are (i) to summarize current literature on genetic association, mRNA, and protein expression studies with regard to MMPs and TIMPs in IBD patients and various animal models, including those with transgenic and knockout mice; (ii) to compare biochemical and molecular biological data in humans with those obtained in animal model studies and (iii) to critically evaluate and translate how this knowledge may be used in practical terms to understand better the pathophysiology and mechanisms operating in IBD and to apply this for improvement of clinical outcomes at diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic levels. 相似文献

- 1.1. Pig synovial fibroblasts in culture were studied to determine if they were an easily reproducible model system for studying the actions of cytokines and growth factors on human synovial cells. The biochemical analyses were conducted by activity assays, enzymography and Northern blot.
- 2.2. Human recombinant interleukin-1α, basic fibroblast growth factor and transforming growth factor-β1 were studied in combinations because of their known involvement in controlling tissue remodelling.
- 3.3. The response of pig fibroblasts to these agents, in terms of the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (collagenase, gelatinase and stromelysin) and their inhibitors (TIMPs), show that they behave similarly enough to human cells for use when supplies of human primary cells are unavailable.

Role of matrix metalloproteinases in inflammatory bowel disease 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Recent evidence demonstrates that the increased expression and activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) may contribute to intestinal tissue injury and inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease, and that MMP inhibition might be a new therapeutic approach to controlling inflammatory response. In addition, MMPs may play a crucial role in physiological and pathophysiological reactions such as leukocyte accumulation into inflamed tissue, cytokine production from inflammatory and epithelial cells, T lymphocyte homing to the intestine, wound healing and proliferation of epithelial cells, and intestinal innate immunity. This review focuses on recent progress in elucidating the biological and pathological roles of MMPs in inflammatory bowel disease. 相似文献

Increased level of cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases in osteoarthritic subchondral bone 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of several cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMP)-1 in osteoarthritis (OA) and control sera and different joint tissues. METHODS: Serum, synovial fluid, cartilage, synovial and subchondral bone tissues were examined in OA and control subjects. The protein level of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1alpha, IL-8, IL-10 and MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 were measured by immunoanalysis. RESULTS: Serum levels of TNF-alpha, MMP-3 and -9 were significantly higher in OA patients than in controls. Conversely, serum IL-10 was decreased in OA patients. CRP was elevated when compared to healthy controls and decreased significantly 6 months after the surgery. In contrast to control samples, OA cartilage and synovium revealed significantly higher MMP-2, -3, -9 and IL-10. IL-1alpha was significantly higher in OA cartilage and IL-8 in OA synovium. Interestingly, MMP-3, -9, TIMP-1 and all tested cytokines were up-regulated in OA subchondral bone. DISCUSSION: This study demonstrates pro-inflammatory condition of OA pathology and supports the idea that vascularized subchondral region may increase the synthesis of cytokines and MMPs leading to degradation of adjacent cartilage. 相似文献

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) play a significant role in regulating angiogenesis,the process of new blood vessel formation.Interstitial collagenase (MMP-1),72kDa gelatinase A/type IV collagenase (MMP-2),and 92 kDA gelatinase B/type IV collagenase (MMP-9) dissolve extracellular matrix (ECM) and may initiate and promote angiogenesis.TIMP-1,TIMP-2,TIMP-3,and possibly,TIMP-4 inhibit neovascularization.A new paradign is emerging that matrilysin (MMP-7),MMP-9,and metalloelastase (MMP-12) may block angiogenesis by converting plasminogen to angiostatin,which is one of the most potent angiogenesis antagonists.MMPs and TIMPs play a complex role in regulating angiogenesis.An understanding of the biochemical and cellular pathways and mechanisms of angiogenesis will provide important information to allow the control of angiogenesis,e.g.the stimulation of angiogenesis for coronary collateral circulation formation;while the inhibition for treating arthritis and cancer. 相似文献

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease with a spectrum of clinical evolutions. We here summarize recent insights into the neuroinflammatory processes of demyelination, vascular cuffing, destruction of the blood brain barrier (BBB), neuronal toxicity and the ensuing (re)activation of autoreactive lymphocytes. Translation of these processes in molecular terms indicates that cytokines, including interferons, ligands of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family and interleukins, and also chemokines and matrix metalloproteinases play pivotal roles in MS. This not only helps to understand disease mechanisms in the central nervous system of affected patients, but also forms a solid scientific basis to improve present therapies. Treatment of MS with parenterally administered anti-inflammatory agents may be improved, based on present knowledge and new insights obtained with animal models. Such innovations include better use of knowledge about the formulation, administration, turnover and glycosylation of interferon-β (IFN-β), combinations of IFN-β with inhibitors of IFN-β-degrading proteinases in MS, and new ways to diminish vascular cuffs and the transmigration of leukocytes across the two basement membranes of the BBB. Novel molecules interfering with matrix metalloproteinases and chemokines, such as EMMPRIN, COAM and monoclonal antibodies are currently being investigated, demonstrating continued efforts to find new drugs for MS treatment. 相似文献

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is an important growth and articulation center in the craniofacial complex. In aging it develops spontaneous degenerative osteoarthritic (OA) lesions. Metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPS) play key roles in extracellular matrix remodeling and degradation. Gelatinase activities and immunohistochemical localization of MMP-2, -3, -8, -9, and -13 and TIMP-1 and -2 were examined in mandibular condyle cartilage of neonatal mice up to 18 months old. The most intense immunostaining for all enzymes and TIMPs and the peak of gelatinase activities were found in animals in the stages of early growth (1 week to 3 months) followed by a decrease during maturation and aging. However, clusters of positively immunoreactive chondrocytes were detected in cartilages of old animals displaying OA lesions. Positive safranin-O staining, indicative of sulfated proteoglycans (PGs), was prominent in the TMJ of newborn mice up to 3 months old followed by reduction during maturation and aging, except in regions displaying OA lesions. Temporal codistribution of PGs, MMPs, and TIMPs during skeletal maturation reflected an active growth phase, whereas their reduction coincided with the more quiescent articulating and maintenance phase in the joint cartilage. Osteoarthritic lesions were associated with both increased PG synthesis and MMP immunoreactivity, indicating limited repair activity during initial stages of osteoarthritis. 相似文献

Activated macrophages harvested from rat peritoneum were shown to contain phospholipase A1, A2 and lysophospholipase activities which were defined on a series of radiolabelled phospholipid substrates. During in vitro culture of these elicited macrophage populations, phospholipase enzymes were secreted into the culture medium. Radiolabelled myelin, prepared from young rats after intracerebral injection of14C acetate, was used as a substrate to analyze the susceptibility of central nervous system (CNS) myelin to attack by cell-associated and secreted macrophage enzymes. Homogenates of peritoneal macrophages degraded the myelin lipids at acid pH; phosphatidyl choline (PC) and ethanolamine phosphatide (EP) were both degraded with liberation of free fatty acid and small amounts of lysolipids. The ethanolamine lipids were most vulnerable; up to 20% of this fraction was degraded in six hours. Selected batches of macrophage culture supernatant similarly degraded the myelin EP at acid pH. These results suggest that phospholipase enzymes, released from activated macrophages in close proximity to the myelin sheath, may participate in primary demyelination in inflammatory CNS lesions. 相似文献

Objective: The objective of this study is to compare inflammatory cytokine levels in primary knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients and healthy controls.Methods: A total of 32 knee OA patients and 14 healthy controls were enrolled. A multiplex immunoassay was utilized for 10 cytokines in plasma and synovial fluid.Results: Plasma IL-2, IL-4, and IL-6 concentrations were significantly greater in knee OA patients than controls. Moreover, both plasma IL-4 and IL-6 were positively correlated with the radiographic severity of knee OA.Conclusions: Plasma IL-4 and IL-6 may serve as biomarkers reflecting the severity of OA. 相似文献

Treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by synthetic active ingredients leads to many side effects. The objective of this study was to manage IBD using natural products as curcumin and Ginkgo biloba. Rats were divided into four groups (control, IBD, curcumin treated, and ginkgo treated). Inflammation was assessed by determination of myeloperoxidase, matrix metalloproteinases, metalloproteinase-1 inhibitor, nitric oxide, hydroxyproline, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, ceruloplasmin, and histopathological scoring. IBD induction significantly increased all measured parameters. Treated groups had significantly lower levels when compared with the IBD group. In conclusion, curcumin and ginkgo were effective in prevention and treatment of IBD. 相似文献

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-endopeptidases with multifactorial actions in central nervous system (CNS) physiology and pathology. Accumulating data suggest that MMPs have a deleterious role in stroke. By degrading neurovascular matrix, MMPs promote injury of the blood-brain barrier, edema and hemorrhage. By disrupting cell-matrix signaling and homeostasis, MMPs trigger brain cell death. Hence, there is a movement toward the development of MMP inhibitors for acute stroke therapy. But MMPs may have a different role during delayed phases after stroke. Because MMPs modulate brain matrix, they may mediate beneficial plasticity and remodeling during stroke recovery. Here, we show that MMPs participate in delayed cortical responses after focal cerebral ischemia in rats. MMP-9 is upregulated in peri-infarct cortex at 7-14 days after stroke and is colocalized with markers of neurovascular remodeling. Treatment with MMP inhibitors at 7 days after stroke suppresses neurovascular remodeling, increases ischemic brain injury and impairs functional recovery at 14 days. MMP processing of bioavailable VEGF may be involved because inhibition of MMPs reduces endogenous VEGF signals, whereas additional treatment with exogenous VEGF prevents MMP inhibitor-induced worsening of infarction. These data suggest that, contrary to MMP inhibitor therapies for acute stroke, strategies that modulate MMPs may be needed for promoting stroke recovery. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to define early events during the angiogenic response of the aortic wall to injury. Rat aortic rings produced neovessels in collagen culture but lost this capacity over time. These quiescent rings responded to vascular endothelial growth factor but not to a mixture of macrophage-stimulatory cytokines and chemokines that was angiogenically active on fresh rings. Analysis of cytokine receptor expression revealed selective loss in quiescent rings of the proangiogenic chemokine receptor CXCR2, which was expressed predominantly in aortic macrophages. Pharmacologic inhibition of CXCR2 impaired angiogenesis from fresh rings but had no effect on vascular endothelial growth factor-induced angiogenesis from quiescent explants. Angiogenesis was also impaired in cultures of aortic rings from CXCR2-deficient mice. Reduced CXCR2 expression in quiescent rat aortic rings correlated with marked macrophage depletion. Pharmacologic ablation of macrophages from aortic explants blocked formation of neovessels in vitro and reduced aortic ring-induced angiogenesis in vivo. The angiogenic response of macrophage-depleted rings was completely restored by adding exogenous macrophages. Moreover, angiogenesis from fresh rings was promoted by macrophage CSF (CSF-1) and inhibited with anti-CSF-1 Ab. Thus, aortic angiogenic sprouting following injury is strongly influenced by conditions that modulate resident macrophage numbers and function. 相似文献

Background
Administration of a single physiological dose of 17beta-estradiol (E2:40 microg/kg) to the ovariectomized immature rat rapidly induces uterine growth and remodeling. The response is characterized by changes in endometrial stromal architecture during an inflammatory-like response that likely involves activated matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs). While estrogen is known as an inducer of endometrial growth, its role in specific expression of MMP family members in vivo is poorly characterized. E2-induced changes in MMP-2, -3, -7, and -9 mRNA and protein expression were analyzed to survey regulation along an extended time course 0-72 hours post-treatment. Because E2 effects inflammatory-like changes that may alter MMP expression, we assessed changes in tissue levels of TNF-alpha and MCP-1, and we utilized dexamethasone (600 microg/kg) to better understand the role of inflammation on matrix remodeling. 相似文献19.

Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome Protein (WASP) is a hematopoietic cell-specific regulator of Arp2/3-dependent actin polymerization. Despite the presence of the highly homologous N-WASP (neural-WASP), macrophages from WAS patients are devoid of podosomes, adhesion structures in cells of the monocytic lineage capable of matrix degradation via matrix metalloproteases (MMPs), suggesting that WASP and N-WASP play unique roles in macrophages. To determine whether N-WASP also plays a unique role in macrophage function, N-WASP expression was reduced using silencing RNA in a sub-line of RAW 264.7 macrophages (RAW/LR5). Similar to reduction in WASP levels, cells with reduced N-WASP levels were rounder and less polarized. Interestingly, podosomes still formed when N-WASP was reduced but they were unable to perform matrix degradation. This defect was rescued by re-expression of N-WASP, but not by over-expression of WASP, indicating that these proteins play distinct roles in podosome function. Additionally, reducing N-WASP levels mistargets the metalloprotease MT1-MMP and it no longer localizes to podosomes. However, N-WASP was only found to co-localize with MT1-MMP positive vesicles at podosomes, suggesting that N-WASP may play a role on the targeting or fusion of MMP-containing vesicles to podosomes in macrophage-like cells. 相似文献
